A rare, detached thatched cottage offering nearly 1,950 sq ft of living space and broad unbroken views over open farmland. The house has been newly renovated to retain period character—exposed features and a thatch roof—while providing three double bedrooms each with en‑suite facilities. The principal en‑suite includes a roll‑top bath for a traditional finish. Ground floor living is generous: an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility, WC, spacious sitting room with wood burner, and a separate study.
Outside, mature landscaped gardens back onto woodland with a patio, summerhouse and a working well. A gated driveway and detached garage provide plentiful off‑street parking. The plot is very large, giving privacy and scope for garden projects or simple country living. Location benefits include a peaceful no‑through road, near the Broads and local beaches, with village amenities and primary schools within reasonable distance.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil boiler, energy efficiency is rated E, and the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. Council tax is described as expensive. Though recently renovated, the age and thatch roof mean ongoing maintenance and insurance costs will be higher than modern builds.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character, space and countryside privacy—families or downsizers wanting a substantial period home close to Norfolk’s coast and the Broads, prepared for the specific running costs of a historic thatch property.
